GAS STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 419,827, dated January21, 1890.

Serial No. 328,963. (No model.)

signed for burning to the best advantage illuminating ornon-illuminating gas. By my invention I obviate all centralization ofdrafts or currents of air or heat, and the heat is given free outwardradiation at all points, so that there are no jets of air drawn in atthe base and no chimney-like effect above the burner, which results fromconfining the heated air, as with common stoves of this class. The topof the stove is by preference closed or imperforate to deflect the heatoutward.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in all the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of a gas-stove made in accordance with myinvention. Fig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same. Fig. 3 is anenlarged View of a small portion of the body of the stove, and Fig. 4 isa detailed view of a deflecting-plate.

The base A of the stove may be of one single casting, with legs 13, andflanged at a to receive the lower end of the body 0 and the perforatedbottom plate D. The body 0 is of perforated metal-sheet-iron,preferablyand may be from one foot to three or more feet in height. Theperforations are by preference small and close together. From onehundred to three hundred perforations to the square inch produce thebest results. The top E is without apertures and serves to intercept therising currents of heated air and to cause them to be deflected downwardand outward.

The burner F maybe of any approved type and is located at or near thebase of the stove. There is practically no draft into the stove, exceptat the bottom through the perforated bottom plate D.

For high stoves a perforated plate E is preferably placed aboutcentrally of the height of the stove and held in place, 'as shown, byfriction-strips e bearing against the wall of the stove, or by othermeans, the object of this plate being to deflect the heat and throw itout more at the base of the stove and to intercept any upward drafts. Bythis construction, which allows for a full supply of air, I gainthorough combustion and a full lateral radiation of heat at all parts ofthe bodyof the stove.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secureby Letters Patent 1. As a new article of manufacture, a gasstoveconsisting of a base, a hollow body portion mounted on the base andhaving small interstices or perforations extending substantially to itslower end, and a burner within the body portion and near the lower endthereof, substantially as set forth.

2. As a new article of manufacture, a gasstove consisting of a base, aburner, a hollow body portion inclosing the burner mounted on the base,and having small interstices or perforations extending below the normallevel of the flame of the burner, substantially as set forth.

3. As a new article of manufacture, a gasstove consisting of a base, ahollow body mounted on the base and having small perforations orinterstices extending substantially to its upper and lower ends, aburner within the body portion near the lower end thereof, and a capclosing the upper end of the body, substantially as set forth.

4. As a new article of manufacture, a gasstove consisting of a hollowbody closely perforated or intersticed throughout its length, asupporting-base, a perforated or intersticed bottom for the body, aburner within the body adjacent to the upper side of said bottom, and acap closing the upper end of the body, substantially as set forth.

5. As a new article of manufacture, a gasstove consisting of a base, ahollow body portion mounted on the base and having small perforations orinterstices extending substantially to its lower end, a burner withinthe body portion near the lower end thereof, and a transverse deflectorwithin the body above the burner, substantially as set forth.
